I need to set up a batch file that runs a program continuously until midnight; then changes to a different program that runs continuously until the next midnight, etc. Can this be done? Can someone tell me how? Thanks for any help.

Hi Bdink....
Without more info I would suggest SCHEDULED TASKS in Control Panel? Other area's are the AT command and TASKKILL type AT /? or TASKKILL /? at the prompt for more info.
let me know if this helped?

dual - thanks so much. Per your suggestion, i took a closer look at scheduled tasks - looks like it will work fine - and so much easier than I thought it would be.
